On Wednesday, we will have our monthly Family Meal. Following the meal, we would like to have a meeting with our young families. This meeting will be a time to listen and learn about the challenges they are facing and work toward solutions the church can offer. There are many ideas to share and new activities to take part in. Young families, please be encouraged to come to this meetingWe're going to have a family meeting! In our world today, young families are stressed and stretched as they balance homes, work, marriage, parenting, church, family, community service etc. They have a lot on their plate and have a hard time balancing it all. Although most young families know they need to be and have their family in church, they are stretched in so many different directions, something usually has to be let go.
Above all the voices and chaos in our world today, the Voice of Truth is calling out. He is calling the church to Him. To put Him first and trust Him to set the rest in order. He alone can bring peace to our hearts, give energy for our tasks and give us the wisdom and guidance to raise our families in truth.
At Antioch, we want to help our families! We not only want to encourage them to be active in church attendance, but to make it a part (an important part) of their weekly schedules. We want to walk alongside them as they navigate through the challenges of life. We want to help meet their needs, give training to better equip them and provide a loving and encouraging presence they can depend on.
